He tosses and turns and talks in his sleep. He kicks me in the head, he tries to climb over me, he head butts me - all in his sleep. I've tried to get him into the crib but he likens the crib to some kind of torture, I am in the process of deciding on a bed for him. It's looking like it will be his very own twin bed on the floor to start with. <BR/><BR/>That said I think my two hour afternoon nap is the longest stretch of sleep I get.

Nights are the only "me" time when I can catch up on blogs, edit my photos for my business and watch any Tivo'd shows I'm interested in. By the time I check the clock, it's usually past midnight and I'm cursing myself for not getting into bed earlier!Amyhttp://digitalphotographyblogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-35791973325962835202008-09-23T16:29:00.000-07:002008-09-23T16:29:00.000-07:00Oh my gosh.

I have to be up at 3:45 a.m. as my job across town starts at 5:30 a.m. Thank goodness it is only 4 days/week instead of 5 (10 hour days, though). OH! The answer?

I'm feeling really guilty about my 8 hours, although, for the last six weeks, interrupted by peeing, heartburn and thirst, it's probably been closer to 5 and I guess pretty soon... closer to 0. I think its so funny that all of us COULD get more sleep if we really wanted to -- trouble is? We have way too much shit we want to accomplish and sleep is sort of a last priority when you're a parent. It's pretty amazing what a mother is capable of.

My daughter has nightmares about 2 times a week due to stress from starting a new school, and they usually occur at about the time I want to fall asleep, and last anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour before I can get her back to sleep. And I need to be up by 6:30am if I want her to get on the bus on time. I'm a SAHM but I'm too afraid to nap when my little dude does for fear of further messing up my tenuous sleep/wake schedule. Even on the weekends it seems I can't get more than 6 hours. Blah, I am aways tired, thank goodness for concealer!<BR/>alter_ego_jenny(at)yahoo(dot)comSabrina K.noreply@blogger.com
